IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT - BATTERY CHARGER
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment–grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
charger. If outlet is not suitable for safe use; have a properly grounded
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Always use a properly grounded 3-wire extension cord, which has
male and female plugs. If 25-foot [7.6m] extension cords are used, the
electrical carrying capacity should be no less than 14-3 ST., 50-foot
[15.2m] extension cords no less than 12-3 ST.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This charger shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The charger is
provided with a three-conductor cord and a three-contact grounding type attachment plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. The green conductor in the cord is the ground wire. Never connect this wire to other than
the grounding pin of the attachment plug.
Check nameplate on the charger to be sure
voltage
and
cycle
stated is the same as the electrical outlet. Do
not attempt to plug a 120-volt charger into a 240-volt outlet or a 240-volt charger into a 120-volt outlet. If the
cord provided with the charger has an attachment plug as shown in Figure A. below, it is intended for use on a
nominal 120-volt circuit. If a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure A is not available, an adapter
may be installed as shown in Figure B if the outlet box that houses the receptacle is grounded. Be sure to
fasten the grounding tab (the green colored rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter) with a metal
faceplate screw.
If the cord provided with the charger has an attachment plug as shown in Figure C, it is intended for use on a
nominal 240-volt circuit (single phase only). Changes to the attachment plug or use of adaptors to other plug
types must be done in accordance with local regulations.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor may not be permitted by Canadian electrical code.
ALL REPAIR SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN NSS AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR/
SERVICE STATION USING ONLY NSS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS.
